Once a perennial favorite in the cell phone game, Motorola has lost some steam in that area as mobile phone users enjoy a wider selection of phones offered by industry leaders Nokia and Samsung, as well as Apple, Research in Motion, and LG. The company's home and network products include set-top boxes, digital video recorders, video broadcasting equipment, and IP telephony gear. Its products for business and government clients consist of broadband wireless systems used to build private voice and data networks and public safety communications systems. The company's largest client in 2009 was Verizon. Motorola said in 2010 that it will spin off its handset and set-top box units into a new company called Motorola Mobility.

Its roots are in print journalism, but the Tribune Company has branched out to embrace virtually every aspect of modern media.
